"Avengers: Infinity War" Trailer Leaked Online

During Marvel's presentation of its Phase 3 films, the studio unveiled a teaser trailer for "Avengers: Infinity War," which will be the third and fourth installments in the "Avengers" franchise. Check it out below.

In the first movie, Avengers defeated Loki and will face off against Ultron. In the third film, which is split into two parts, the team will battle Thanos. The first part is set to hit theaters on May 4th, 2018. The second part will follow a year later on May 3rd, 2019.

"We've always had a plan since Nick Fury broke into Tony Stark's house and told him he's part of a bigger universe," said Marvel head Kevin Feige. "'Avengers: Infinity War - Part 1'′ is the beginning of the culmination of everything that has come before."

Oh, so this is live-action? Okay. Thought maybe they were doing a cartoon straight-to-DVD version of the Infinity Gauntlet/Rings thing. Did they do that already. If not, they should. Might be more of a watch than the live-action trash, which all looks alike to me.

At least they have a build-up and a plan. I mean like most big budget movies nowadays are just silly action romps with an abundance of visual effects and no growth. This is about as good as you can get with a superhero franchise right now.

Im happy mate, Im looking forward to seeing where it leads and how it all ends! I can assume come Avengers 3 Infinity Part II it'll be a balls to the wall romp, Avengers, new and old, Guardians, the whole crew vs Thanos, that to me will be epic!

Oh I knew Avengers 3, at least the second part, will feature an all-unity of the Guardians of the Galaxy, all the Avengers, SHIELD or what's left, and so on. I hope Whedon stays on. There is no one like him more suited for this strange blend of heroes and a whole universe. I mean he's done it before. Buffy, Firefly, even Dollhouse. Guy knows how to craft a world and roll with it. Yes...I actually liked Dollhouse. Sue me! I will admit if it hadn't been cancelled, Whedon probably wouldn't been able to do Avengers so that was a blessing in disguise.

Well I don't think it will be a joint effort although we know Whedon oversees all te movies story elements so everything lines up with the Avenger films. I feel Whedon will direct it solely to keep continuity but will take into account everything Gunn and the other creative forces of the solo movies do, making sure that all the work they've done separately fuses together into the Avengers III. With a two-parter you're going to need good information fed between the film forces of each film.

The major difference betwixt Marvel's vs. DC's film announcements is that with Marvel you can at least glean basic plot details. This is indicated in the subtitles for the sequels and with the origin films like Black Panther, groundwork is being laid in Age of Ultron with Andy Serkis's character.

WB/DC otoh, has revealed no plot details for any of their upcoming shared universe films whatsoever, and they assume that by vomiting out a list of movies that fans and general moviegoers will get excited nerd-boners just on name recognition of their characters alone.

There are many reasons why this will simply not work. The first is that DC/WB is being way too over-confident with BvS that they imagine audiences falling in love with all the cameos in the film and expect to attract this same audience to each solo film.

If all BvS has is a scene here and there with Aqua Man, Wonder Woman, The Flash, etc. It will not be compelling enough to get people to give a sh*t about a forthcoming solo film with these characters.

Copying Marvel's strategy in reverse will be odd and confusing and is ham-fisted.

Secondly, fans are opposed to Affleck as Batman, Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman, and this gay douche playing The Flash.

Again DC is doing the opposite of Marvel with terrible casting choices whereas Marvel has made very good choices.

Thirdly, and likely the most important is that at the Box Office after 2016, it will be DC vs. Marvel and considering their past success so far, Marvel will remain on top.

This is what I have been saying about DC for a long time now. They aren't preparing themselves well. marvel has painstakingly prepped everything for each Phase of films. DC is vomiting films to get hopeful big box office numbers but they aren't nurturing the characters in each film like Marvel did.
